Missing dependency in jpa processing?

[adrian.brock]

There appears to be a missing dependency in the jpa processing.

If I try to deploy a persistence.xml that references a datasource that doesn't exist
I get this uninformative error message:

Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.NullPointerException

To reproduce, remove hsqldb-ds.xml from server/web/deploy
then go to the testsuite and do ./build.sh run-web-profile-unit

Afaik this should be fixed.

I added some small hack to PUDeployer,
moving BMD component/attachment creation to parent unit.
So it's actually picked up by KernelDeploymentDeployer --> handling our ScopeInfo merge issue.

Dunno which version contains this hack.

I would say that the tomcat injection container doesn't declare a dependency on the persistence unit.
